Risk assessment for Water Pipes (RA) The risk assessment will help you chose appropriate materials for your development. If you require any help completing this form please contact Developer Services on 0330 303 0119. Section 1: Development details Development Name Innovation Park, Medway Development Address Land adjacent to Rochester Airport, Maidstone Road, Chatham Kent ME5 9SD. Grid Ref: 164727, 574332 OS Grid Reference (mid point) Developers Name Medway Council Southern Water Reference number Please provide details below of the current and historical use of the site and adjacent sites. If your supporting information has details of the current and historical site use, please reference below the relevant sections of your report. Part of the site is currently occupied by Rochester Airport (with a grassed runway) and a car park for a BAE Systems unit. The western part of the site is used as storage facilities for caravans, and Area 2 (east) is a car park. The site has previously been part of an aeroplane factory and electrical engineering works. Refer to Chapter 6 of Land QQuality Statement report. Section 2: Preliminary risk assessment Has your desk study and site walkover identified any land potentially affected by contamination? Yes If the site is potentially affected by contamination but you have not completed any intrusive site investigation please provide details below of the rationale behind the intended pipe selection. If your supporting information has details of the rationale behind the intended pipe selection, please reference below the relevant sections of your report. Section 3: Intrusive site investigation Have you completed any intrusive site investigation? Yes Have you completed any non-intrusive site investigation? Yes Please provide date(s) when the site investigation(s) was taken Feb and March 2019 5 Contaminated land Assessment guidance Section 4: Site remediation Please provide details below of any site remediation (which may include a change in site levels) already completed. N/A Has the PSRAS (Table 1) been completed using appropriate data after remediation? Remediation will not imapct pipe type Please provide details below of any site remediation and an analysis of whether this will affect your intended pipe selection. N/A Section 5: Final use of site Please provide details below of any chemicals (including fuel) to be stored on site and any other future contamination risks which may affect your intended pipe selection. If your supporting information has details of potential contamination risks which may affect your intended pipe selection, please reference below the relevant sections of your report. The future site use is not anticipated to impact potable water pipe selection. No bulk fuel storage is proposed. What water pipe materials are intended to be Barrier Pipe used on site? _______________________ If your supporting information has additional information to support your intended pipe selection please reference below the relevant sections of your report. Based on the soil data from the SI, as presented in Chapter 9 of the Land Q uality Statement, the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations exceed the PE and PVC thresholds and therefore Barrier Pipe will be required for new potable water pipes.

Project Centre | Innovation Centre Medway EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RESULT: Brimstone Site Investigation concludes that UXO poses a LOW RISK, LOW-MODERATE RISK, MODERATE RISK and HIGH RISK to the proposed works. THE SITE: The Site (centred on National Grid Ref: TQ 74484 64452) is located approximately 2.8km south of Chatham town centre, in the Medway area of north Kent. It is bound to the east by Roman Road / Maidstone Road (A229), to the west by Rochester Road (B2097), to the north by Marconi Way, and to the south by a small residential estate fronting Maidstone Road. The Site boundary encompasses Rochester Airport and is mainly occupied by the grass landing field area, comprising two intersection grass runways. In the north, a large carpark and two large commercial buildings are situated between the runways and a small triangle of hardstanding with a narrow road provides access to this area from Roman Road. The southern section of The Site comprises aircraft hangars with smaller ancillary airport structures and a hard-surfaced apron. A caravan storage site it situated at the very southern extent with a former building footprint and the existing Innovation Centre building (with its carpark) to the east.
